# Chapter 8 — Navigation and Objects

## Purpose

This chapter explains the navigation structure and the object model used throughout the fraud and AML interface.

## Core navigation concepts

- Authentication: sign in and verify access to the admin environment.
- Main menu navigation: move between Dashboard, Scores, Cases, Rules, and other fraud-related areas.
- Parent objects and child objects: understand how records are grouped and related.
- Locked and active states: identify whether an object is currently available for editing or review.
- Response payload and report table: inspect the structured output of a transaction or workflow.
- Rule and code builder: create or edit the logic behind fraud behavior.

## Example usage

Example: when investigating a case, use the navigation to move from the case list into the case detail view, then inspect the related response payload or rule context.

## Operational guidance

- Learn the main menu first so you can move efficiently between operational areas.
- Use object relationships to understand how one record connects to another.
- Pay attention to locked or inactive states so you do not make changes at the wrong time.

## Notes

Good navigation knowledge allows users to find the right page quickly and reach the detail they need without confusion.
